antimicrobial protected paint

Silver Bullet AM

Increased emphasis on microbe free environments creates the need for enhanced measures to reduce bacterial presence. To address the industries need for effective protective coatings, Burke Industrial Coatings has developed an ultra high performance epoxy coating antimicrobial protected paint system. The product identified as Silver Bullet AM®, inhibits the growth of a broad spectrum of bacteria, mold and fungi in addition to providing long term protection against severe wash down chemicals.

Highly durable and corrosion-resistant, Silver Bullet's antimicrobial protected paint active ingredient is its namesake: silver, a safe and natural antimicrobial with proven success in food processing applications. Proven safe for human contact, silver is effective in over 650 strains of bacteria, yeast, fungi and molds. A high performance epoxy coating, Silver Bullet AM® antimicrobial protected paint can be applied to plant equipment, walls, ceilings, hand rails and other appropriate surfaces to reduce microbiological contamination and propagation.

Mildew Proof Paint

Silver inhibits reproduction, interrupts metabolism, and disrupts cell wall functions of many molds, yeasts, and bacteria. Harnessing the power of silver in its ionic form, Silver Bullet's antimicrobial protected paint compound has been proven to provide microbial efficacy within hours, and able to maintain optimal performance for years. Silver Bullet AM® also contains elemental copper which makes it a mildew proof paint. Silver Bullet's antimicrobial protected paint additive uses a zeolite carrier that allows a controlled and effective release of the silver ions. The controlled release of silver and copper ions results in a long lasting, on-demand, antimicrobial effect on bacteria and suppresses future contamination. Silver's stable ion exchange process represents a significant improvement over standard organic antimicrobials that dissipate rapidly.

Rigorous laboratory studies subjecting Silver Bullet AM® antimicrobial protected paint coated equipment through intense test conditions prove that the coatings can withstand a wide array of chemical and temperature extremes. Independent tests show that even under severe conditions, Silver Bullet AM® antimicrobial protected paint continues to provide a significant reduction in various types of bacteria.

Silver Bullet AM® antimicrobial protected paint is available in clear, liquid stainless steel, white and other colors.
